abstract = {The RHIC Run19 BES-II program features the commissioning of the Low Energy RHIC electron Cooling (LEReC) Project, which uses electron cooling techniques to compensate for intra-beam scattering and thus to improve the luminosity lifetime. During RHIC operations at 3.85 GeV (beam energy) with LEReC, one needs to ensure that the electron beam energy is properly matched for cooling purposes: if so, some of the circulating Au-79 ions can recombine with an electron, turning into Au-78 and circulating with a large momentum offset. Part of the LEReC commissioning steps is therefore to drive a maximized number of Au-78 ions towards a chosen location of the RHIC mechanical aperture to generate particle showers that can be detected by a Recombination Monitor outside the cryostat. This article introduces the baseline lattice design, then discusses the few scenarios considered for optimizing Au-78 losses at a given location. Each scenario is then simulated using new tracking tools for generating beam loss maps.},
